I have been in the land of Faerie for years and it is a place where mortal blood is turned to fire. It is a place of beauty and terror beyond what can be imagined here. I have ridden with the Wild Hunt. I have carved a clear path of freedom among the stars and outrun the wind. And no I am asked to walk upon the earth again. Cassandra Clare
About This Quote

The symbolism of the quote “I have been in the land of Faerie for years and it is a place where mortal blood is turned to fire” is very interesting. The speaker here is describing the world as he knows it. It is magical, dangerous, and full of wonders. It is a place where people live without fear, pain, or rules.

As such, this quote speaks to those who feel as if they cannot live their life as they would like. They feel as if their world must be different than what it is. The speaker describes how he was happy living in this magical place and how he missed it greatly when he returned to the world of mortals.
